Teaching Portrait Painting Classes

This past Wednesday, July 16, marked the first day of classes for the newly-formed Great Falls School of Art (part of the Great Falls Foundation for the the Arts -- see www.gfffta.org for more info) and my portrait class was the very first class. I am teaching two classes -- both on Wednesdays and the Summer 2008 schedule includes six classes for each session. The photo shows three students from the morning class tackling quick light/dark painting exercises depicting the model.

Vicki Blum, a terrific fellow artist, is teaching Still Life Painting on Thursday evenings. I had the pleasure of witnessing the start of her class. She created a gorgeous setup just waiting to be painted.
